I just bought Diorshow and I have to say it does the trick! A drugstore brand runner up for me would be Maybelline Collosal
Maybelline Collossal is pretty good…a bit flaky on me. Benefit’s BadGal makes some really good fatty lashes!!!
I would have to say mac fibre-rich – that stuff gives you fat, overweight lashes 🙂
Clearly.. M A C Plushlash!! Winner Winner chicken dinner!
Diorshow is the truth, but I also love Maybelline Collasal.
Benefit’s Get Bent thickens really well. I have naturally curly lashes so this makes my lashes really thick.
Chanel’s Excepptional (new mascara) is really wonderful as well.
I’ve never tried MAC Plushlash but I’ve heard great things about it. I also really love Too Faced Lash Injection. I work at Ulta, and it’s our best selling mascara by far! Urban Decay’s Big Fatty is decent, but it clumps up on me pretty fast, unfortunately!
Exceptionnel, Plushlash for the budget brand.
Diorshow Blackout is my absolute fave. But, I was really impressed with Chanel Exceptionnel as well. At least with everything but the pricetag.
Plushlash.
Otherwise DiorShow, and drugstore: Voluminous. Haven’t tried the Colossal.
Drugstore for me is L’oreal Full Definition Voluminous.
Department store is Lancome Hypnose Deep Black.
Another surprise for me is the fact that my new HG Diorshow Iconic builds fierce volume besides length and curling abilities. This is vastly becoming the greatest mascara ever for me.
Lancome’s Hypnose is the best (except for the price) Revlon 3-D extreme is not bad either
DiorShow Blackout, Urban Decay, and Too Faced Lash Injection.
Diorshow!! PlushLash a close 2nd…
Ooo I’m gonna have to check these out!
i lost my plushlash :(( i miss it so much!
I wonder, I’m looking for a good lengthening & volumizing mascara but don’t know which to choose…any suggestions?
I had tried Maybelline’s Soft & Full but it made my eyes itchy 🙁
I have thick, long, and heavy lashes but unfortunetly I don’t have many of them. I have tried everything from Dior to Mac and I have to say that Maybelline’s full and soft WATERPROOF mascara paired with shu uemuera (however you spell it) eyelash curler does miracles for me. I have been asked if I was wearing false lashes on numerous occasions, the combo is amazing!
